In the name of change: 'PML-N biggest hurdle in Pakistan's destruction'
Those calling for change want to change 'not our system but our values, norms and traditions,' says Nawaz Sharif.
MULTAN:
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is the biggest hurdle for all those trying to destroy Pakistan in the name of change, PML-N President Nawaz Sharif said on Tuesday.
Nawaz was addressing a laptops distribution ceremony at the Bahauddin Zakariya University in Multan.
The PML-N President said that all those calling for change were bluffing to Pakistan’s youth, who and wanted to change “not our system but our values, norms and traditions.”
“We will not let them distort our values and traditions because the youth of Pakistan are standing with us,” Nawaz said.
Nawaz further asked the youth to stick with the traditions and values of Pakistani culture, which, Nawaz said, was our real identity.
He also claimed that those calling for change were manipulating young minds through politics just to gain power.
“PML-N had called for change long ago in the 90’s and we were punished for this because our idea of change means accountability of corrupt politicians,” he said.
Nawaz pointed out that Pakistan’s youth is frustrated and leaders exploiting them in the name of change, will lead to dreadful consequences.
However, he added that the PML-N will guide them to the right path and will ensure a bright future for them.
From slates to laptops
According to Nawaz, the PML-N has awarded laptops worth Rs12 billion to 500,000 students.
At the distribution ceremony in Multan, a unit of Punjab police marched past the students who were given laptops and presented a guard of honour.
Calling it a change in code of respect, Nawaz said if dictators and corrupt politicians can be presented the guard of honour, the students deserved it more.
“Merit is our top priority; we have distributed laptops without any discrimination,” he added.
